Chapter 47 The Contest of Two Newcomers in Court

Today is an extremely important day for Luo Lan, because today is the day when Zhang Jinlu's case will be tried again, and the result must be reached today.

Luo Lan came to Court No. [-] early. She confirmed once again that Manager Ding and Uncle Zhou would appear in court on time, and then she let out a long sigh of relief.

The court session was at nine o'clock in the morning, and people began to appear in the court one after another. However, at this moment, a man in his fifties with an angry face walked straight towards Luo Lan.

"You are the lawyer who defended the murder of my son. What on earth do you want to do? How much money did she give you to get her off the hook against your conscience? Our family still has some wealth, so I will pay you double the money."

The middle-aged man lost his son, so he was naturally very sad. Behind him was a middle-aged woman with a sluggish expression, wiping away her tears. It should be the mother of the deceased Xu Songning.

Luo Lan shook her head and said, "Uncle Xu, I haven't received any money. I trust my client. I think she is innocent. Before the judge decides, she is just a criminal suspect."

"Innocent, my son died innocently. Do you think the money is too little? Just ask how much money you want. As long as you can sentence that bitch to death, let her die for her life."

It wasn't a matter of money at all. Luo Lan felt that it was difficult for him to communicate with Xu Songning's father. He only wanted Zhang Jinlu to be sentenced to death, and he couldn't listen to other words at all.

Just when Luo Lan was at a loss, a crisp voice came over.

"Luo Lan, why are you here? The court is about to start."

Gu Zixin wore a loose white shirt on his upper body, paired with sky blue jeans and black high-heeled shoes. He was heroic and showed a strong aura.

"Sister Xin, they are Xu Songning's parents."

Gu Zixin Bingxue is smart, although Luo Lan didn't say anything, she could guess from Xu Songning's father's expression, she said sharply: "Uncle Xu, I don't care what you think, our family Luo Lan is a legal aid lawyer appointed by the court, she is just doing her duty, I'm sorry, the court is about to start, please step aside."

Gu Zixin completely ignored Uncle Xu's reaction, and pulled Luo Lan towards the defendant's defender's seat. Gu Shengtian was already in his seat at this time, ready to fight hard.

As soon as Luo Lan sat down, Gu Shengtian immediately asked: "The witnesses you found are all right, they are an indispensable link. If you want to win this lawsuit, you cannot do without them."

"Well, I checked again just now. Manager Ding will be here soon, and Uncle Zhou will be here a little later. Lawyer Gu, let me be your assistant this time."

"Of course, how can a rookie like you be able to deal with your senior, even if you have a good hand of cards, you will only play a mess, hey, why not Shen Hentian?"

Just when Gu Shengtian was boasting, he unexpectedly discovered that the prosecutor's seat was sitting on a strange prosecutor, not the helpless Shen Hentian that Luo Lan fought in the previous fight.

Luo Lan glanced at the unfamiliar prosecutor, then glanced around the courtroom, and replied, "It's strange, why did you change people, the senior didn't seem to come here either."

Originally, Gu Shengtian was still high-spirited and wanted to defeat Shen Hentian's prestige, but he didn't expect to be replaced by a little-known prosecutor, and his whole person suddenly felt like a discouraged ball.

"It's a replacement. It's boring. You can fight this lawsuit yourself. I'll take a moment and don't harass me."

Gu Shengtian squinted as soon as he said it, and really didn't even look at it. At this time, Judge Zhou and the jurors were already in place, and the defendant Zhang Jinlu was also brought to the court by the bailiff.

Judge Zhou quickly tapped the gavel and said sharply, "Defendant's defender, today we are continuing the trial of Zhang Jinlu's alleged murder of Xu Songning. Do you have anything to add?"

For Judge Zhou, he was just conducting a lawsuit that was about to be concluded, and the trial of the case was basically completed, but it was forced to suspend for a while because of Zhang Jinlu's sudden madness last time.

Luo Lan took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Judge, I request that the prosecution's witness, Li Zhangde, testify in court again. I have important questions to ask him."

The new prosecutor is Du Zhong, and Shen Hentian handed over all the materials to him. He memorized the relevant case and the record of the previous trial, and quickly said: "Judge, the evidence in this case is solid, there is no need to Witness Li Zhangde is invited to testify in court again, he has already told what he saw."

Judge Zhou seemed to agree with Du Zhong's statement. Just as he was about to dismiss Luo Lan's opinion, Luo Lan immediately counterattacked: "Judge, I strongly request that Li Zhangde be invited to appear in court again. My question is related to whether the defendant Zhang Jinlu committed murder or not. The real murderer."

Luo Lan's tone was very serious, with the intention of swearing not to let go. Judge Zhou frowned slightly, but nodded in agreement and said, "In this case, the prosecutor, please invite the witness Li Zhangde to appear in court once."

Du Zhong looked reluctant, but Judge Zhou had already spoken, so he could only let the witness Li Zhangde testify in court again.

Li Zhangde was obviously much calmer than when he appeared in court last time, with a relaxed expression on his whole body.

Judge Zhou tapped the gavel lightly and said, "Defendant's defender, you can start questioning."

Luo Lan sorted out all the clues at hand, cast a positive look at Zhang Jinlu, and asked, "Li Zhangde, I want to ask again, what time was it when you called the police on the day of the crime?"

Li Zhangde said confidently: "I did remember wrong last time, I'm sorry, it should be around 3:30."

Luo Lan was waiting for this sentence, her strategy was to lead Li Zhangde into the trap step by step.

As long as a person tells a lie, he must make up for it with more lies, and the end result is full of mistakes and omissions.

Luo Lan looked at Li Zhangde with sharp eyes, and asked, "I remember you mentioned last time that you saw the wall clock on the wall when you called the police in the supermarket, but because too long time passed, you misremembered the time ,am I right."

"Yes, that's the case. I'm usually busy delivering couriers, so it's normal for me to remember wrongly."

Du Zhong didn't know what Luo Lan wanted to do, so he interrupted directly: "Judge, the defendant's lawyer asked something unrelated to this case. The facts of this case are clear and the evidence is solid. Please judge Zhang Jinlu according to the law."

Luo Lan glanced at Gu Shengtian and found that he didn't have much reaction, so he could only continue to say: "Judge, I haven't finished asking my questions yet. Regarding what Li Zhangde said, I personally went to the supermarket downstairs to find out about it. , but the result obtained is completely different from what Li Zhangde said."
